the cam choice is dependent on what you plan to
use the car.
if your going to use it as a daily driver, not
wanting to do more than replace the cam
the lpe 219/219 is a good choice. youll have to rechip
and you can add on (runners, manifold, etc)
later.
if you have a plaything, the field is wide open
match cam with compression and cylinder head
flow.
"how fast do you want to pay?"
old speed shop saying.
but for good gains keep the duration under
220@.050" or you going to have to do some
major other things to take full advantage of
the cam.
